About Me
I live in Los Alamos, New Mexico with my husband, daughter and two dogs (and whichever mice are currently living under the house). I like to spend time with my daughter, knit, bike, run, and tear my house apart, but not all at once.

The flu news has been driving me nuts lately, and by driving me nuts I mean, it's been keeping me up at night. Ginnie gets her vaccine on Monday for it, but until two weeks she gets the 2nd dose she still won't be protected. And for all of the deaths the media has such an easy time posting, they don't post how many people have gotten over it with no complications, or with help from antibiotics. It's very hard to keep it all in perspective right now.
I remember chatting with a mom when she was in the early stages of pregnancy a year or two ago, and I realized halfway into the conversation that she was picking my brain about what the symptoms for miscarriage were. At that point I stopped the conversation and said, "You really don't want to talk to me about this. What you need is reassurance, and I can tell you that according to statistics, you'll be fine." And she was. I wish the media would do the same regarding the flu.
